Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Bluebonic]

Chris sutton who?...chris sutton did wot with his career?

He won about nine trophies in his career mate, he did plenty with his career! Still a bell though

A few fluffed moments but no one had a bad game. When's the last time that happened?

I voted Coleman for MoTM because he locked down Son in the first half. But Allan and Doucore were excellent.

Pickford was strong.

Also the CB's. Spurs did nothing in front of goal for the whole game.

I'm just delighted. La la la la la....

Dominated midfield. Jesus did I just type that.

Gave it to Allan , but could have gone to any of the new signings. Was impressed with our 2 CB's today. Just goes to show what a decent DM does to relieve the constant pressure our CB's were under last season.
For a team that has only been together for 5 days, it's a promising start.

 

[Glasshalffull]

I didn’t get why there RB was so high up the pitch and there LB wasn’t?

Didn't I hear someone say he's a recent covert from wing back? Maybe his legs were automatically taking him forward when they really shouldn't have.

 

[Niapper]

We really need someone better at RB

 

[BlueDraka]

Not quite Stamford Bridge or Anfield, but a 12-year hoodoo is a big one - and that midfield just BROKE the hell out of it!

Said last week I'm.looking forward to this midfield mixing it with the RS. Come on Arnold, Robertson. Allan and doucoure won't be running away from you like our midfield have done in the last 2 years. Think even James is more robust than I thought and won't mind mixing it as well

Buzzing. That wasn’t the Everton I know out there today.

in Don Carlo we trust

Very professional display,with the exception of about 10 minutes we controlled the game,a midfield that were not brushed aside,looked to pass forward and improved Gomes a good deal,MOTM is a difficult choice but I'm going Coleman,handled Son very well,got a couple of important blocks in and generally coped very well

 

[Eggs]

....one step at a time, but we so miss athleticism across the back line. Encouraging we were in for Gabriel and we’re linked with Tomori because that’s the requirement.

 

[MondayHater]

Let’s not forget the big Everton fan Eric Dier

 

[carolinablue232]

Went for Allan because he reminded me what a midfielder is supposed to do. Could’ve easily gone for Doucoure or Seamus. Great way to start things off.

 

[Telford-Feb-85]

Gomes, Allan, Doucoure, James is the perfect balance. Vision, tenacity, strength, stamina, composure.

Reminds me very much of the mid 80s French midfield. Giresse, Fernandez, Tigana and Platini. We have the same balance in there.

I think I must be one of his biggest critics on here, but Pickers made two fantastic saves today that kept us in the game.

Absolutely agree but they cannot play every game. We need another one or two with quality in there...
